Here are some more top university CDS sites or sites that disclose admissions info:

Cal Tech: http://atc.caltech.edu/finance/budget.htm

Columbia U: http://www.barnard.edu/opir/cds/cds_main.htm

University of North Carolina (CH): http://www.ais.unc.edu/ir/cds.html

Brandeis: http://www.brandeis.edu/offices/IR/cds/CDS.html

U Illinois UC (profile, not CDS): http://www.pb.uillinois.edu/dr/

UC Irvine: http://www.oir.uci.edu/cds/

RPI: http://www.rpi.edu/about/cds/index.html

UC Santa Barbara (abridged CDS): http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/UG_Info_Guide.pdf

UC Davis (click on Campus Data): http://www.sariweb.ucdavis.edu

Syracuse (data, but not CDS): http://sumweb.syr.edu/ir/contents.htm; & http://sumweb.syr.edu/ir/prospective....html#Freshmen

University of Texas: http://www.utexas.edu/academic/oir/cds/04-05/

Pepperdine: http://www.pepperdine.edu/instres/dataset/

Texas A&M: http://pie.tamucc.edu/cds/cdsmain.htm

University of Georgia: http://www.uga.edu/irp/cds/index.html

Purdue: http://www.purdue.edu/idn/CDS_Post/cdsmain.html

Rutgers: http://oirap.rutgers.edu/instchar.html

University of Iowa: http://www.uiowa.edu/~provost/irm/

There is something decidedly suspicious about the name-brand institutions that obviously have a CDS and an institutional research function that collects & studies these data, but does not make it (especially admissions disclosures) public to the degree that there is no trace of it on their web pages (at least in my sleuthing). Those institutions happen to be:

Harvard
Washington University
USC

To a lesser extent, those that put the info behind password protection:
Notre Dame (password protected): http://www.nd.edu/~instres/home3/index.shtml
Or that puts out a short-form of data that is significantly less revealing than a CDS like Penn.

And, its conversely refreshing to see an open listing of a school’s peer institution CDS sites (thanks for you openness), e.g., :
JMU: http://oirsacs.jmu.edu/PerfMeasures/PeerWebSites.asp
Princeton: http://www.princeton.edu/~provost/research_peers.html
